We are the Middleton exterior contractors homeowners call when the house is more complicated than a siding company wants to deal with. Our shop is 12 miles east on S. Stoughton Road, and we have completed 128 jobs inside the 53562 ZIP — steep pitches, multi-valley roofs, mixed material elevations and matched architectural trim.





Tear-off and replacement, storm damage repair, and leak diagnosis on asphalt, metal, and flat systems. Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles are hard on roofs — most of what we replace failed at the flashing and ice dam line, not in the field.
Full-frame and insert replacement in vinyl, fiberglass, and clad wood. In a Wisconsin winter the payback shows up on the January gas bill — we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing units are worth keeping.
Fiber cement, engineered wood, vinyl, and steel. We pull the old course back far enough to check sheathing and house wrap — cupping and buckling are usually a moisture problem, not a siding problem.
Seamless aluminum formed on site, oversized 6″ runs, and guard systems. Most ice dam calls we take are a gutter and ventilation issue combined — worth fixing together rather than one at a time.
Same-day emergency tarping, a free HAAG-certified documented inspection, and we meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed. After a storm, two things matter — stopping active damage now and getting a fair, fully documented insurance claim.
When exterior damage can’t wait, our team is ready to help. We provide fast, dependable solutions for urgent roofing, siding, window, and storm-related issues to help protect your home from further damage.
Local conditions
Middleton has a higher concentration of architecturally complex homes than anywhere else we work, and that changes what the whole exterior needs.
Downtown, Parmenter Street area
Middleton’s original core: steeper pitches over board decking, under-ventilated attics, deep eaves and original wood trim. These homes need work sequenced correctly — there is no point installing windows before the sheathing behind them is sound.
Established neighborhoods
Ranches and colonials with cedar or hardboard siding, aluminum-frame windows and roofs on their second or third layer. This band is where a full exterior project returns the most, because every component ages out at roughly the same time.
Middleton Hills and larger builds
Where the complexity begins. Multiple valleys, dormers, steep pitches, mixed stone-and-siding elevations and wood-clad window packages. Every material transition on these homes is a place water can get in, and most of what we repair here is a transition rather than a field.
Newer high-end construction
Very large roof areas with heavy architectural detail. Young components, so calls here are mostly storm and hail rather than age — and complex roofs are the ones insurers most reliably under scope. If a storm opens one of these roofs, we offer same-day tarping on steep Middleton roofs.
Why one contractor
Most homeowners hire a roofer, then a siding company, then somebody for gutters. On a Middleton home that is where the problems start.
Stone to siding, siding to roof, roof to dormer. Almost nothing fails in the middle of a wall or a roof plane. It fails at the joint, and joints are exactly where one trade ends and another begins.
When hail hits a Middleton home it hits the roof, the siding, the skylights and the screens. Four contractors documenting four scopes is how half a claim goes unfiled.
Gable returns, banding and window surrounds get touched by the siding crew, the window crew and the roofer. Matching them takes one company deciding the profile once.
Staging a steep roof is a real cost. Doing roof and gutters in one project means paying for that access once instead of twice.
When the roofer blames the siding crew and the siding crew blames the roofer, you are the one holding the leak. Our 25-year workmanship warranty covers the whole envelope.
We file with the City of Middleton once for the project rather than you coordinating three applications and three inspection windows.
Permits & approvals
The City of Middleton runs its own process, separate from Madison’s. On a combined project that means one application covering the whole scope rather than three.

“Exteriors Co replaced my siding after hail damage. They were the only contractors I solicited who took the time to sit down and go over insurance claims with me. They caught items insurance did not include and solicited additional money from my insurance to cover.”
– Duane H.

middleton questions
The whole exterior. Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, soffit and fascia, and storm restoration across all of it. On Middleton’s architecture that matters more than usual, because the failures are almost always at transitions between trades rather than in the middle of any one of them.
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Our shop is at 2117 S Stoughton Road in Madison, 12 miles east. What that buys you is the same crews and project managers on every job rather than subcontracting to whoever is closest. We have completed 128 jobs inside the 53562 ZIP.
Roof area, pitch and complexity rather than the town. A steep multi-valley home with dormers and mixed materials genuinely takes more staging, more flashing and more labor hours than a larger but simpler house elsewhere. Any quote that prices them the same has not looked properly.
For roof replacement, siding replacement and window replacement, generally yes. The City of Middleton runs its own process, separate from Madison’s. We pull it as part of the job. Some neighborhoods also have their own design guidelines that can affect visible materials — we check your address at the estimate.
Yes, and on a steep Middleton home it is meaningfully cheaper. You pay for staging and access once rather than three times, and the transitions between trades get detailed by people accountable for both sides of the joint.
Usually yes — one event, one claim, one deductible, even when the roof, siding, skylights and gutters are all involved. On complex Middleton roofs the first scope frequently comes in short, and supplements are routine rather than exceptional. Our insurance restoration and supplements process is built for exactly that.
Yes. Low-slope and flat systems including EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen, plus siding and envelope work on commercial and multi-family properties.
